Is America In Retreat?May 20, 2018

A fascinating look at the hard questions American foreign policy leaders face in dealing with today’s rapidly changing world order. Just how deeply entangled should America be in the world’s affairs? What alternatives are there to being the world’s policemen? Is there really a downside to retreat? And in the absence of the U.S., how might global order be maintained - or destroyed? Based on the book ‘America in Retreat’ by Pulitzer-Prize winning columnist Bret Stephens (The Wall Street Journal), the documentary is hosted by Cato Senior Fellow Johan Norberg, who travels the world to examine the questions facing a nation that is leaning back toward isolationism.
